Food for Thought

Help me give my students snack options to keep their bellies full and their minds working!

My Project

This year I have the BEST group of third graders I could ask for! They are incredibly hard workers with the biggest hearts. We have the last lunch of the day and many days students come without snacks to help tide them over until lunch time. I try and provide snacks for students when I can, but that can get expensive. I want to provide my students with options for snacks so they don't have to worry about having an empty stomach throughout the day. With this project students will be able to fill their bellies and be able to focus on growing their minds!
